Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has conducted an equality impact assessment of maintaining income tax thresholds until 2030/31.

The government has published a Tax Information and Impact Note (TIIN) setting out the impact of maintaining income Tax and equivalent National Insurance contributions thresholds. This includes an equalities assessment which states that individuals may be affected by this measure regardless of their protected characteristics.

The previous Government legislated to maintain personal tax thresholds until April 28. This Government has continued the policy maintaining thresholds to April 31.
